I did not know the Anglicans are Catholics without a Pope.
Anglicans and Episcopalians come from King Henry VIII's break with the Catholic church.
Oh, I know It just read like Ms. Holly might like to know more.I was being lighthearted, or dry, probably too much so. There was just a little bit of satire to the statement
This was actually the first song I thought of Blunt! (before I looked at any posts) creepy
Until I went to a Mass - I'd never heard the "my chains are gone portion" of the song.Anglicans and Episcopalians come from King Henry VIII's break with the Catholic church. Instead of 7 sacraments, though, they only recognize 2. In England, Queen Elizabeth is head of the Anglican church. Episcopalians are in the US, and I'm not sure who the head of the church is--maybe there isn't a single leader? There is High Episcopalian, in which the service is pretty much exactly like a Mass, and Low Episcopalian, in which the service is closer to a Methodist service.
I only know one version of Amazing Grace, though. The version in our missal is exactly the same as I've heard my whole life. I wonder how yours is different, or how the one you grew up with is different?
You know, before I converted, I'd grown up hearing a totally different version of Amazing Grace - are we talking about the same Amazing Grace? I like the other version as well, but I like "My Chains are gone".
They played the other (not Catholic version) of Amazing Grace on bagpipes at my dad's funeral - very touching and cool, I loved how you could feel the music in the ground beneath your feet.

You know, when Margaret Thatcher died, the British public made this song get to number 2 in the charts.
Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" off the "A Delicate Sound of Thunder" album midway through.
(The last singer about brings tears to my eyes.)

I just looked it up The "My Chains" version wouldn't be allowed in our Dioscese--pop songs are verboten. The writer (Chris Tomlin, adapting John Newton) is an Evangelical--we even have difficulties getting Catholic popular music approved (lol). Pretty adaptation, though. If I could pick worship music without it having to be from the approved list, there are a couple of Third Day songs that I'd choose
